INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): Can the minister actually answer the question whether there is anything contained in the forward estimates for the $36 billion infrastructure plan, and how much is earmarked for the individual projects?

The Hon. M.F. O'BRIEN (Napier—Minister for Finance, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:27): It is a question of timing. The budget was handed down and I think then, many months later, the 30-year transport plan was released. One followed well after the other, so it could not be picked up in the budget.
